Pineapple Ginger Punch

This hot and spicy punch is a nice change from mulled cider. It's also a good source of bromelain.

4 cups pineapple juice, freshly juiced
1 cup fresh ginger, sliced (no need to peel)
1 Tbsp. pure honey
1 stick cinnamon, split lengthwise
8 whole cloves
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked

In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, ginger, honey, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper; bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Strain and serve warm.

Makes 1 drink.
